Today we would look at publishing message to MessageBox and subscribing and transforming it.

1. Receive and Post Message M1 in MessageBox
2. Subscribe and Transform the message M1 into M2
3. Send the message M2 to another location

Step 1 - Create an Empty Biztalk Project
Step 2 - Create a New Message M1 Schema (ReceiveSchema)

Insert ChildFieldElement Id and Name











Step 3 - Create a New Message M2 Schema (Transform Schema)











Step 4 Add an Empty Biztalk Orchestration
STEP 5 Add Message1 Based on ReceiveSchema, Add Message2 Based on TransformSchema

Step 6 - Add a ReceiveShape, Set Activate-True, Message -> Message1

Step 7 - Specify Direct Binding for Port. Post Message in MessageBox

Step 8 - Add a Transform Shape, Under Properties of TransformShape ->Input Messages, SpecifySource Message_1 and Destination Message_2 and Click on OK

Step 9 - Biztalk Mapper would be launched. Map Id to Id & Name to Comments

Step 10 - Now go back to orchestration and add send shape and Assign Message_2 for Send Shape and bind port

Step 11 - Orchestration

Step 12 - Under Project->Biztalk Server Project -> Specify Application Name under Deployment Tab, Under Signing Tab sign the assembly

Step 13 Build and Deploy the application

Step 14 Start->Run-> btsmmc.msc
Step 15 - Goto Application. Create a Receive Location and a Send Port. Bind the orchestration and start it
